Property Description

The curb appeal of this classic center entrance cape cod style home is both inviting and interesting with the professionally designed terraced front yard rain gardens with a variety of unique low upkeep plantings, but the interior with much of the original trim work and architectural detailing intact is the deal maker! The current owners consider themselves stewards of one of the older homes in Royal Oak, built in 1926 when the downtown area along Main Street was served by streetcars. They have been proactive in terms of maintenance both inside and out. All mechanical systems and equipment have been replaced as needed with quality and a long lifespan in mind. Of special interest is the roof mounted solar energy system (owned not leased), a great investment in maintaining low electricity costs. It is a part of a complete home energy efficiency upgrade...including replacement windows and insulation. The location of the home is in town but not right downtown...the Farmers Market, downtown shops and restaurants, the municipal complex with the library and Centennial Commons are all a 5-10 minute walk away. Interior features of note include large second floor bedrooms each with a walk in closet, a dining room that will accommodate a large table and china cabinet, original fireplace in the living room and a high basement with room for added live/work and storage areas. This is a not to be missed home for anyone interested in a home with character in downtown Royal Oak.
